| 1. | Stockhausen | ||
|
Weird-as 20th century composer who thought he came from Sirius. Wrote music for helicopters, large papier-mache birds, female flautists wearing black catsuits and operas that last for years and years and years. Beloved of modern musicians such as the Beatles as a pioneer in electronic music and thus appears on the cover of Sergeant Pepper. Also beloved of some try-hard posers who mistake insanity for intellect. A: Hey, some crazy big bird just ripped a music box out of its guts and gave it to me. Ick!
B: Oh, man, you were totally Stockhausened! A: Do you think we go back to the stars when we die? B: Who do you think you are, Stockhausen? A: What do you wanna do today? B: Let's go Stockhausening! A: Good idea! (They pull on catsuits, play with helicopters and sing national anthems over the top of each other) |
